Book Synopsis Santa Fe Trail West by : Artie Sparks

Book excerpt: The eastern part of America filled up with people from the Atlantic Coast clear to the Mississippi River in only three-hundred years of ships arriving there mostly from Europe. That kind of growth rate was expected to continue to occur with western expansion to the Great Plains and beyond there by the Washington policy makers entering the nineteenth century.They thought that it would take at least that long before the area between the Mississippi River and the Pacific coast became completely populated. The process was expedited by free land and technology advancement and gold rushes. The southwest bound immigrants did have those advantages.The government's plans were flawed from the start. They misjudged the rate that settlers were moving west. Their failures were more than not adjusting to those changes in the growth rate of the population. Another major failures entailed their ability to provide peace between Americans citizens and Native Americans.The government's plans for western expansion always involved the use of army at handling all of the tedious details. The government was of course wrong with all aspects of it. The settlers had great difficulty surviving the Great plains, the three major trails and numerous other trails west. The plains and major trails to the west were patrolled by too few trained soldiers. There were not enough troops to manage anything properly in the move west.The influx of American immigrants or settlers or pioneers began at a slow pace. The big move west from the east and places in between resulted as nation acquired more and more and final reached the Pacific Ocean. The major move west started just prior to the mid nineteenth century and was over before the end of that century.There will never be anything like that western expansion ever again. The era was the greatest movement of humanity that our nation ever saw and much it look place on three major trails that were quite rough. The Santa Fe Trail provided a military supply route during the war with Mexico. Also many of the settler's journeys were on the trail. Dodge City, the wild west town and cattle rail-head, was to the east of the middle of the trail in later years.This trail to the west provided great difficulties that the settlers needed to survive illness, attacks from outlaws and angry Native Americans before they could pursue their dreams of a better life in the southern mid-west, Texas or to the west of there. This trail fed into other ones, such as the Old Spanish Trail, once the wagon trains passed Santa Fe.
Download or read book American Serengeti written by Dan Flores and published by University Press of Kansas. This book was released on 2017-01-16 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: America's Great Plains once possessed one of the grandest wildlife spectacles of the world, equaled only by such places as the Serengeti, the Masai Mara, or the veld of South Africa. Pronghorn antelope, gray wolves, bison, coyotes, wild horses, and grizzly bears: less than two hundred years ago these creatures existed in such abundance that John James Audubon was moved to write, "it is impossible to describe or even conceive the vast multitudes of these animals." In a work that is at once a lyrical evocation of that lost splendor and a detailed natural history of these charismatic species of the historic Great Plains, veteran naturalist and outdoorsman Dan Flores draws a vivid portrait of each of these animals in their glory—and tells the harrowing story of what happened to them at the hands of market hunters and ranchers and ultimately a federal killing program in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The Great Plains with its wildlife intact dazzled Americans and Europeans alike, prompting numerous literary tributes. American Serengeti takes its place alongside these celebratory works, showing us the grazers and predators of the plains against the vast opalescent distances, the blue mountains shimmering on the horizon, the great rippling tracts of yellowed grasslands. Far from the empty "flyover country" of recent times, this landscape is alive with a complex ecology at least 20,000 years old—a continental patrimony whose wonders may not be entirely lost, as recent efforts hold out hope of partial restoration of these historic species. Written by an author who has done breakthrough work on the histories of several of these animals—including bison, wild horses, and coyotes—American Serengeti is as rigorous in its research as it is intimate in its sense of wonder—the most deeply informed, closely observed view we have of the Great Plains' wild heritage.
Book Synopsis History of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway by : Keith L. Bryant Jr.
Download or read book History of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway written by Keith L. Bryant Jr. and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2020-09 with total page 462 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cyrus K. Holliday envisioned a railroad that would run from Kansas to the Pacific, increasing the commerce and prosperity of the nation. With farsighted investors and shrewd management, the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway grew from Holliday’s idea into a model of the modern, rapid, and efficient railroad. There were many growing pains early on, including rustlers, thieves, and desperadoes as well as the nineteenth century’s economic and climatic hardships. The railroad eventually extended from Chicago to San Francisco, with substantial holdings in oil fields, timber land, uranium mines, pipelines, and real estate. This is the first comprehensive history of the iconic Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway, from its birth in 1859 to its termination in 1996. This volume discusses the construction and operation of the railway, the strategies of its leaders, the evolution of its locomotive fleet, and its famed passenger service with partner Fred Harvey. The vast changes within the nation’s railway system led to a merger with the Burlington Northern and the creation of the BNSF Railway. An iconic railroad, the Santa Fe at its peak operated thirteen thousand miles of routes and served the southwestern region of the nation with the corporate slogan “Santa Fe All the Way.” This new edition covers almost twenty-five more years of history, including the merger of the Santa Fe and Burlington Northern railroads and new material on labor, minorities, and women on the carrier along with new and updated maps and photographs.

Book Synopsis Comanche Ethnography by : Thomas W. Kavanagh
Download or read book Comanche Ethnography written by Thomas W. Kavanagh and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2008 with total page 569 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the summer of 1933 in Lawton, Oklahoma, a team of six anthropologists met with eighteen Comanche elders to record the latter?s reminiscences of traditional Comanche culture. The depth and breadth of what the elderly Comanches recalled provides an inestimable source of knowledge for generations to come, both within and beyond the Comanche community. This monumental volume makes available for the first time the largest archive of traditional cultural information on Comanches ever gathered by American anthropologists. Much of the Comanches? earlier world is presented here?religious stories, historical accounts, autobiographical remembrances, cosmology, the practice of war, everyday games, birth rituals, funerals, kinship relations, the organization of camps, material culture, and relations with other tribes. Thomas W. Kavanagh tracked down all known surviving notes from the Santa Fe Laboratory field party and collated and annotated the records, learning as much as possible about the Comanche elders who spoke with the anthropologists and, when possible, attributing pieces of information to the appropriate elders. In addition, this volume includes Robert H. Lowie?s notes from his short 1912 visit to the Comanches. The result stands as a legacy for both Comanches and those interested in learning more about them.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle.

Drawn from first-hand accounts of early entrepreneurs and emigrants who braved the Santa Fe Trail between 1820 and 1880, this history reveals the lure of the West and puts its importance to American history in context. On the Santa Fe Trail paints a portrait of the land before the wagon tracks were carved in its surface and recounts the hardships, dangers, and adventures faced by the hardy souls who went West to make their fortunes.
